A Traffic Analysis on Serverless Computing Based on the Example of a File Upload Stream on AWS Lambda (2020)
Journal Article
Muller, L., Chrysoulas, C., Pitropakis, N., & Barclay, P. J. (2020). A Traffic Analysis on Serverless Computing Based on the Example of a File Upload Stream on AWS Lambda. Big Data and Cognitive Computing, 4(4), Article 38. https://doi.org/10.3390/bdcc404

The shift towards microservisation which can be observed in recent developments of the cloud landscape for applications has led towards the emergence of the Function as a Service (FaaS) concept, also called Serverless. This term describes the event-d... Read More about A Traffic Analysis on Serverless Computing Based on the Example of a File Upload Stream on AWS Lambda.

Teallach — a flexible user-interface development environment for object database applications (2003)
Journal Article
Barclay, P. J., Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Kennedy, J., Cooper, R., Paton, N. W., & Gray, P. (2003). Teallach — a flexible user-interface development environment for object database applications. Journal of Visual Languages and Computing, 14(1), 47-77.

The Teallach project has adapted model-based user-interface development techniques to the systematic creation of user-interfaces for object-oriented database applications. Model-based approaches aim to provide designers with a more principled approac... Read More about Teallach — a flexible user-interface development environment for object database applications.

Implementation of the Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a comparison of database models and query languages and an introduction to the Prometheus Object-Oriented Model. (2002)
Journal Article
Raguenaud, C., Pullan, M. R., Watson, M. F., Kennedy, J., Newman, M. F., & Barclay, P. J. (2002). Implementation of the Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a comparison of database models and query languages and an introduction to the Prometheus Object-Oriented Model. Taxon, 51(1), 131-142. https://doi.org/10.2307/1554970

Types of databases commonly used for handling taxonomic data are compared. It is shown that none of the existing types of databases fully support the requirements of taxonomic data. The results of this comparison provide a rationale for the design an...

Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases (2001)
Journal Article
Griffiths, T., Barclay, P. J., Paton, N. W., McKirdy, J., Kennedy, J., Gray, P., Cooper, R., Goble, C., & Pinherio da Silva, P. (2001). Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases. Interacting with Computers, 14(1),

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the productivity of user-interface developers and possibly for improving the quality of developed interfaces. While model-based techniques have previously been applied to... Read More about Teallach: a model-based user interface development environment for object databases.

Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model (1999)
Journal Article
Roantree, M., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (1999). Providing views and closure for the object data management group object model. Information and Software Technology, 41(15), 1037-1044. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2899%2900042-7

The ODMG Object Model uses a standard for object-oriented database designers, while attempting to address some issues of interoperability. This research is focused on the viability of using the ODMG data model as a canonical data model in a multid...

bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour (1997)
Journal Article
Marshall, B. R., Kennedy, J. B., & Barclay, P. J. (1997). bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour. Information and Software Technology, 39(5), 351-361. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2896%2901151-2

Current object-oriented (OO) modelling techniques emphasise the static aspects of data objects. Dynamics in general and collaborations between objects in particular tend to be poorly supported and are often treated separately. A full understanding of...

A framework for information visualisation (1996)
Journal Article
Kennedy, J., Mitchell, K., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). A framework for information visualisation. SIGMOD record, 25, 30-34

In this paper we examine the issues involved in developing information visualisation systems and present a framework for their construction. The framework addresses the components which must be considered in providing effective visualisations. The fr... Read More about A framework for information visualisation.

On temporal versioning in object oriented databases. (1996)
Journal Article
Lu, J., Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1996). On temporal versioning in object oriented databases. Informationssystem-Architekturen, 3, 38-40

This paper describes the development of the data model TVM which contains a new concept, temporal versioning. This generalises the ideas of temporal databases and version management to object-oriented databases. TVM provides a new approach for data m...

Using a genetic algorithm for optimizing fixed polarity Reed-Muller expansions of boolean functions (1994)
Journal Article
Millert, J. F., Luchian, H., Bradbeeru, P. V. G., & Barclay, P. J. (1994). Using a genetic algorithm for optimizing fixed polarity Reed-Muller expansions of boolean functions. International Journal of Electronics, 76(4), 601-609. https://doi.org/10.1080/0

The use of a genetic algorithm is presented which determines good sub-optimum fixed polarity Reed-Muller expansions of completely specified boolean functions. The algorithm performs better than previous techniques which find a good fixed polarity by...

Semantic integrity for persistent objects (1992)
Journal Article
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1992). Semantic integrity for persistent objects. Information and Software Technology, 34(8), 533-541. https://doi.org/10.1016/0950-5849%2892%2990147-H

Modelling constructs for specifying semantic integrity are reviewed, and their implicit execution semantics discussed. An integrity maintenance model based on these constructs is presented. An implementation of this model in a persistent programming... Read More about Semantic integrity for persistent objects.
